France's Bayeux Tapestry travels to London for first UK exhibition in nearly 1,000 years
The Bayeux Tapestry, the 11th-century embroidered chronicle of the 1066 Norman conquest of England, has traveled from its permanent home in Bayeux, France to the United Kingdom for exhibition—marking its first time in British territory since it is believed to have been created there nearly 1,000 years ago. According to BBC News, the tapestry's loan to the UK gives British audiences direct access to the artifact without traveling to Normandy.
